Calcium gluconate is a mineral compound used orally as a calcium supplement. Our bodies cannot absorb minerals in the elemental form so they are chemically attached to molecules that make them absorbable. This is the gluconate salt of calcium. If you need added calcium, talk to your doctor or healthcare provider about options.
